14 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY.. JCLV 24. J91G. CELEBRATION PLANS CONSIDERED TODAY Portland Chamber and Rosari ans Will Discuss Coos Bay Excursion. PORTLAND BAND WILL GO Keen Interest Shown Here in Coin ing Jollification Over Comple tion of Sontliern Pacific Line to Coast. Tentative plans concerning' the part Portland and the Portland Chamber of Commerce will have in the three-day celebration upon the opening of the Southern Pacific line from Eugene to Coos Bay on Aufrust 24 will be dis cussed at the meetings of two or ganization! today. . This noon the Rosariana will gather tit the Chamber of Commerce, and the general committee in charge of all ar rangements will gather this afternoon at the same place at 4 o'clock. Chamber members and representative business men anticipate this big cele bration with keen interest. The Cham ber of Commerce will charter from the Southern Pacific for the trip the best train available. The dining-car serv ice will be the beat obtainable, and Bleeping facilities are to be a special care with committee members. The general committee appointed from the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon will appoint among its mem bers subcommittees who will look after every detail of the trip and the en tertainment while en tour. Special subcommittees will arrange stunts and daily programmes of entertainment. Roiarian Band Going:. One of the drawing cards will be the presence of the Rosarian Band, which will give concerts while going and coming, and will play for the drills when the Kosarians appear in paradep. The band has a reputation of being one of the best in the city. Although the biggest profit from the opening of the Coos Bay road will accrue to Coos County and Western Lune and Curry counties. Portland people realize that an advantage for one part of the state Is an advantage lor the entire state, and are entering into the proposed celebration with en thusiasm. Besides the delegations from the Chamber of Commerce and the Rosa rlans who will make the trip, Portland ttnd Oregon will probably both be rep resented officially. It is understood that Governor Withycombe will Join the Salem Cherrians in the special train that organization will charter, and Mayor Albee is expected to accept the Invitation extended him. Rich Section Is Opened. The opening of the road along the coast from Mapleton to Marshfield will make accessible one of the richest sec tions of the entire state that hitherto has had to rely on water communica tion or stage from the main line of the Southern Pacific. Not only is the country to be thrown open rich in timber, agricultural and mineral land, but it is known in many stales of the Union as being the hunt era and the fisherman's paradise. Residents of Marshfield and other Coos Bay points coming to Portland assert that Coos Bay people have not yet begun to realize the immense profit in store with the opening of the road. They declare that Uasterners already are making inquiries as to the acces sibility of the country for hunting and fishing purposes. The opening of the Coos Bay road also will add another scenic asset to Oregon's long list. Not only have en gineers encountered and overcome im mense difficulties in building the line nlong the Pacific Coast from Mapleton -outh. but that part of the line from Kusene to Mapleton contains many feats of engineering skill, making the entire road particularly attractive to the tourist. (about to be broken and a. chick step forth friend Lounsbury glued his eyes on the incubator, where the "settintf" had been placed. Emerged a little ball of fur with a half chicken along side. The extra fowl had no wings, neck or head. Otherwise It was all that a chicken should be, especially when sent to the roasting or frying pan. Lounsbury decided to forego the possibility of two eggs a day from one chicken and proceeded to detach the freak chicken from the normal one. The latter has survived the op eration and bids fair to live a long and useful life. Lounsbury explains the birth of .the chicken and a half in a convincing manner. He says that some time ago one of his hens was run over by a mortorcycle with a side car attached. He did not think much of it at the time, but now he recalls that it was the hen that laid the egg containing the chicken with a half chick at hef side. He advances this as an argu ment to prove that chickens have brains and are subject to pre-natal in fluence. WOMAN WEARS OVERALLS Only Woman IjiceiiMod Engineer in Kew York City Gets Temporary Job.

OHIO Intimation Made that Cruelty May Ex ist tn More Than One Place Where Chances Probable. COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 16. Trustees who do not give attention to their du ties are primarily responsible for evils in children's homes. according to Charles V. Williams, director of Child's weirare or the State Board of Chari ties, who has been conducting an in vestigation Into stories of cruelty in a county orphanage. He said today that there are serious improprieties in many of these institutions which would shock the state were the details known. Until his inquiries are completed he will make nothing public respecting them. Williams believes that addition al publicity might hamper the investi gations. If the disclosures to date compel the directing officials to attend to their duties he will be satisfied. It has been found that the little waifs have been placed in Improper homes and that the law requiring the trus tees to exercise a guardianship over them has been permitted to fall Into decay. As to the brutality charges which Williams has been probing, there is not yet enough at hand to show how widespread It may be. Williams intimated the cruelty may exist in more than one home. He re fused to become definite in disclosing what has been found. He did say, how ever, that he had found children placed in the hands of strangers without an inquiry of any kind, and that anyone wishing a child to keep might secure one. In these places no records are kept of the wards of the homes. "Trustees are just as much to blame for shameful conditions we find as are the superintendents, said Williams to day. "In the county case where we found the balls . and chains that had beer used on boys, where the whips were found and where the equipment for torture was complete, the superinten dent, after being unable to justify his action, resigned while we were inves tigating, but the trustees who were in. charge when the instruments of tor ture were used are still in office. '"Trustees are required by law to visit the children placed in homes and to know the condition under which they live. There are trustees who have utterly failed in this duty. When in formed of brutalities they failed to in vestigate: they let matters drift. Our investigators are at work. Names and places are not being mentioned until we get the facts. Advance informa tion often enables guilty officials to cover up their misdeeds, children can be hidden and kept from us." Suggestion was made here that the state authorities might find it neces sary to force an investigation in coun ties where the brutalities had been practiced, and even override the local authorities where charges made have been answered by charges against the state investigators. FILM CENSORSHIP DECLARED COSTLY United Feature Film Official Says Good Pictures Not Being Risked. OHIO ROADS TO BE GOOD Clo!e to SC. 000, 000 Will Be Spent in Next Five Years. COLUMBrs. O.. July 15. A compila tion of what the Shackelford-Bankhead j-ood roads bill, recently signed by 3 'resident Wilson, means to Ohio is fur nished by the Ohio ciood Roads Fed oration. The state will receive $193.(00 in iH7, the first vear: $387,400 in 191 R. s:$1.0o in 1919. $774,800 in 1920. and 3-98i.ono in 1921. making- a total of $2.90&,500 for the five years. As the state must put tip dollar for dollar, the bill requires the expendi ture of $5,811,000 in road improvements durinsc the next five years. It will be necessary for the state to enact additional laws providing means nnd methods of co-operation between i he administrative authorities of state and Nation, a&rreeinr to the mainten ance for at least ten years of all roaus improved with the aid of Federal gov ernment, and making the proper mid necessary appropriations to meet the requirements of the new law. CLOUDS HIDE NOT THESE Sparkle of Woodland Flower Turn Sliaded Pells Into Jjiiminous Bower. PHILADELPHIA. July 13. Clouds cannot hide these stars. They twinkle as cheerfully when it's raining as when the sun la shining. Instead of the sky. however, their orbits and paths are in dry, open woods and fields. They spar kle bv day yellow, siar-siapea now ers which open in succession through out the Summer months. They're known s the star grass. Reform the blooming season the plant hides its real beauty. The outside of the flower is green, like the grass-like blades which surround it. One by one h s-reen coats open and reveal the vellow'gown within. Then the star grass sends out a gen eral invitation to the bees. It orrers thein nectar In abundance, if the bees will carry pollen from one blossom to another. Sometimes the flower coaxes and in vites in vain. The bees, perhaps, have sweethearts elsewhere, and they ignore he little yellow blossoms. It is then that the star flower asserts its inde pendence. It closes up its petals, brings its anthers in contact with, its own stigma and fertilizes itself. TRENCHES PRODUCE TALES .Toffre Kebukes Boy Who Trembles as Shells Burst Near. ALLEGED INJUSTICE CITED Theater Men Point Out That Larger Board Appointed By Entire Commission Would Provide Against Small Prejudice. The censoring of motion pictures in Portland as it has been done by the censor board selected by Mayor Albee under the ordinance in force during the past year is said by Portland mov ing picture men to Have given Port land the reputation among Eastern film manufacturers of having one of the most rigid censorships in the coun try. When D. J. Chatkin. vice-president of the United Feature Film Service, visit ed Portland recently from Chicago, he gave out the following interview: "I find conditions west of Chicago excejient and exhibitors are getting their share of the business. I am sur prised to find, however, the vise-like grip that unreasonable censorship has on the ldustry in your city. "My surprise at the censorship con ditions here is not due to a previous ignorance of the situation, for fort land's fame as a city of rigid censor ship is a matter of common knowledge among Eastern film manufacturers ana distributors. My surprise is due to the fact that after being a few days In your city and interviewing your ex hibitors, I am convinced that the re ports received in the East from man ufacturers' representatives in the West are not exaggerated. "Captions Censors" Condemned. "I notice that eeveral features now showing in Portland are pictures of old release date. a condition I at tribute to the manufacturers' hesi tancy to send new subjects to be promiscuously butchered by the Port land censors. Portland, with its ideal location and climate, its beautiful the aters and enterprising exhibitors and citizens, is undoubtedly permitting the photoplay art tnd its money-making possibilities to suffer at the hands of captious censors. In support of the contention of the ater managers that the present mode of censoring motion pictures in Port land works undue hardships on them. a recent instance of the seizure of film at Pantages theater is being cited by them. Extreme Case Cited. Julia Rooney, sister of Pat Rooney appearing in an act at the theater. used a short piece of film taking minute and a half to show, to hold the stage while she was changing her costume. This piece of film was part of Mise Rooney's vaudeville act and she had no idea it should have been censored. She was not apprised of this fact but her film was seized before the act had concluded its week and the manager of the theater was charged with showing a film without a permit to exhibit, the charge later being dismissed. The propriety of the film was -never questioned nor could it have been by a police court jury under the present censorship ordinance. 1 ne ordinance the theater men are asking the public to support in their petition to the city commissioners, be sides providing for an appeal to the Municipal Court, increases the number of the members of the censor board to 15 and places their selection in the hands of the commission as a whole. It is thought tfcaf this arrangement will do away with the danger of put ting the censorship of the people's amusement in tne. control of so-called reiormers. At present the censor board is composed of seven members selected by tire Mayor. CARDINAL BIRD POPULAR Gay, Jcd Coat and Crest Once li Demand to Trim Hats. PHILADELPHIA. July 13. His whis tie is the envy of all boys. From his perch in the trectop he sends oht hi, call of greeting to his mate. Some times his whistle is a signal of warn ing against the approach of a prowling rat; sometimes it sounds like a proud 'Here I am take a good look at me!" And after one look you'll never forget him. He s the cardinal. His bright red regalia and showv crest nearly cost him his existence. Men used to shoot him to decorate milllneri- They usel to trap him and sell hiin in cages like they do canaries. Since he was handsome, they thought, he ought to die. But state legislatures took a hand and saved the cardinal. In recent vears he's coming back to his former glorv The extent of bird knowledge has made en his protectors, not his murderers: and they're feeding him in Winter in stead of shooting him. They're caging the cats instead of the cardinals. With a little of this encouragement and protection the "red bird." as he is also called, can be induced to make his home in garden or orchard. Inasmuch as he is an active enemy of potato beetles, worms, moths and weevils, he's useful as well as ornamental. They play with these reptiles without the least sign of fear, going through with all the stunts of professional snake charmers. The snakes coil themselves about the boys' necks and bodies. The lads look in the eyes of their pets steadily as they play with them and they handle them with the skill of a professional. The collection consists of black snakes, blue racers, chicken snakes and three ugly-looking "rattlers." On Saturday they usually go down on Snake branch and hunt for more rep tiles. However, these new reptiles are not placed with their "pets." but kept In a separate cage and are usual ly shipped to owners of small shows and museums, from whom they get from $3 to $S for each reptile. Neither of the boys has ever been bitten. The older boy gave a lecture on snakes before the pupils of the Shoal Creek School. He surprised teacher and pupils alike by his classi fication of reptiles, giving their Latin names and discussing the harmless or dangerous varieties, taking each from box as he explained their varied habits. Boy friends of the Shorl lads follow them about and a few are brave enough to timidly touch a reptile's tall wnen Its head is securely held by one of the "experts." But the instant the snake darts out Its tongue they depart in haste. What the boys and grown neonle of the neighborhood do not know is the fact that the fangs of all the poison ous reptiles have been removed. This was cone by an uncle of the bovs professional snake charmer, who' vl- ited them nearly a year ago. , PART OF BUSINESS IS VITAL West Virginian Says Southern State Is Tor Kepublican Ticket. WASHINGTON". July 13. Business is going to play an important part in the campaign this year, according to Howard Sutherland, of West Virginia, nominee of the Republicans for the United States Senate. Business men in mv state, and T h- lieve in all states, are for the Repub lican National ticket." declared Mr Sutherland, at the Willard. "It is not alone big business that is with the Re publican organization this year, but business of all classes, even down to the smallest business man. Necessarily, therefore, the workingmen are for the Republicans, and the farmers will be found going along with, the working men. . "I cannot speak for other states than West Virginia, but I do know. I be lieve, the conditions of my state, and knowing them. I am certatin that the electoral vote of the state will be over whelmingly for Hughes and Fair banks. There is no longer any di vision among the Republicans and Pro gressives; there Is. in fact, no Pro gressive party in the state, and with the Republicans' presenting a united front, the Democrats have no possible chance of winning. The contest for the gubernatorial nomination will not affect the result of the state. It looks now as if Judge Robinson has won. Four years from now, if Lilly happens to be beaten this time for the nomination, nothing can prevent his nomination then. I do not believe there is going to be anv bitter ness, and when the official count is an nounced, the loser is going to accept his defeat with good grace. I honestly believe we shall elect an entire Republican delegation to Con gress this year. HEN ONLY TIES RECORD Ambitious Biddy Fails to Hatch Two Chickens From One Kgg. IXONIA. Vts. July li. Fremont J-oiinsbury. of this village, has a White Leghorn hen with ambitions to equal the record of a famous Black Minor can owned by Wenzel Hassman. of Ap I'leton. which distinguished itself by hatching out a chicken and a half from one shell. The ambitious Louns bury hen tried to hatch out two chickens from one egg. but, like Hass- man's fowl, she failed to do more than canal the one-and-one-half record.

CATS REGARDED AS MENACE Fifty Killed to Prevent Spread Infantile Paralysis. of PHILADELPHIA. July 12. Main Line families are killing their pet cats to diminish risk of infantile paralysis. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in New York City, Wiliam Mulvaney, of Ardmore. an agent for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been summoned to kill more than Rn cats nnd KlttpnR The reason. ""Mulvancy said, is that the owners have learned that the ani mals are ready carriers of germs of i fantile paralysis, so they are killing their pets to protect their children. "I have had cats sent to me from as far west along the Main Line as Ber wyn," he explained. "Some owners have crated the cats and sent them here, explaining that they wanted them killed for fear they would bring dis ease germs to their children." Mul vaney gives the condemned pets injec tions of strychnine in a hypodermic needle. GOOD POINTS FQUNDil Eastern Educator Likes Port land School System.
